And the idea that baseball would play fewer than 154 games is a non-starter. I can’t find the original Keith Olbermann piece that walked this through but….is MLB going to rebate the RSN’s for the games that won’t be played? What about the salaries of the security guards and vendors and all the other stadium employees? Are they taking a pay cut? Keith really walked it thru and it’s a complete non-starter.

And did you see the NLCS games are scheduled for 9pm starts? Are you kidding me?

Well let me make a list of the top of my head. I am doing this cold as you read it…and like all things it is subjective.

Don’t worry about how I have them ranked, I am just trying to get to 10.

1. Tom Seaver, after all he is The Franchise.
2. Mike Piazza, HOFer
3. David Wright – leader in all the categories
4. Jose Reyes – can’t stand him but he’s way up there.

OK lets check in with 1986

5. Dwight Gooden, better than Murph
6. Darryl Strawberry, better than Murph
7. Keith Hernandez, if you saw him play you know how great this guy was.
I am going to leave Carter off as the back end of his Mets career wasn’t that strong.

8. Jerry Koosman, forgotten as time goes on.
9. Carlos Beltran, the All Franchise Team CFer.

Hmmm that seems to be it for no-brainers. I could throw a pitcher on here. I could mention Alfonzo.

I mean what is this crap? I poked around some other MLB feeds assuming this was some league-wide thing and it is not. The Blue Jays are doing some lameness but a bunch of other teams are not. (And lets not even get into what the crosstown ALs are posting about.)

What’s even more confusing is the Mets Social Media Guy is smart and way cool and crushed it with his previous employer to HOF Social Media levels – so I have to think that either Jeff is really into dopey memes (seems possible) or someohow The Face When posts are translating into ticket sales.

Please stop.

Just go dark until November and then pick up with actual information. Thanks!
